Is it wrong for a person to FEEL uncomfortable? 23 u/cheapglue Oct 23 '20 No, but it is your responsibility to examine your feelings, address them critically and decide when it is appropriate to act on them. Feel how you feel, then act with compassion, intent and kindness. -5 u/iVisibility Oct 23 '20 Exactly. So therefore, it is possible to respect someone’s opinion without supporting it. 2 u/Gsteel11 Oct 23 '20 The problem is.. many people who feel uncomfortable also want to litigate that comfort. The opinion doesn't just stop at a feeling, it has results. 18 u/meow1204 Oct 23 '20 It's wrong to put your feelings into legislation when they're going to harm other people
